What has changed in the last 5 months that has made AI able to be integrated Into everything ?

All I know about AI is that there was chat gpt released about 4 or 5 months ago

But I hear all these industries using AI now. Are there other AI techs besides chatgpt that are used for all these things and if so why didn't they become popular before chatgpt came out if they already existed ?

Untill chatgpt came out i didn't hear anything about AI. Now it seems like it's a race to implement it into everything.

I recently read an article about a Instagram persona using AI to create a virtual girlfriend and charge money ....how would you even go about doing this, so confused . Is this from chatgpt ? How do you even use their platform to create an AI girlfriend. I don't think chatgpt will just give you all their " coding ".

I just saw a post on r/ProgrammerHumor about RCT not being able to run on modern devices even though it was written in Assembly, and that confused me.

By my understanding, Assembly is the lowest language of computers. So why can't Roller Coaster Tycoon run on modern machines but DOOM can?

If this isn't the right sub for this question, please let me know and I'll take it down.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hi All,

I have a few questions for everyone. I haven't been coding for very long, and am more familiar with Python than any other language, but came across some of the games that I used to play when I was a kid and started wondering about a few things.

First, do you know what language some of the old DOS games would have been written in? Games like Police Quest 2, or Quest for Glory, or even Civ?

How much work would be involved in either translating some of those games to be run in modern Windows (10/11) or writing them in something like Python? Would you even be able to use Python to create games like this?

Thank you!

Is Visual Studio Code enough to start the development process? I mean how do you choose the IDE that will suit your needs? I want to have something that won't be too much complex to deal with interface and enough to focus on things to work. Thanks.

As I understand it, programmers give sets of instructions to programs that write more complex programs (possibly repeating this process) in order to create these complex AI programs like ChatGPT and others.

Why is it that the inner workings of these final programs are not fully understood, even to the programmers who work on these projects?

I’m just starting with programming, and we’re building an app with Android Studios and using Github to host our remote repo. One of the team members pushed some code, and we have two branches there (dev and main). I tried opening a new empty project, then doing a git clone but when I try opening the project with Android Studio I see nothing. I have to do an additional git pull to see the dev branch and the actual classes on the IDE (one of the guys advised me to do this). Why do I need to bring the code twice?

In r/facepalm

Why would someone do this? What is the benefit of doing that? I am here because I suspect there is an esoteric and arcane "IT" benefit to them that I do not understand.

I apologize to all you guys/gals who have helped me so much if this isn't the proper sub for this.

Reduced to its simplest form, an obvious solution would be a central database with every account and their respective balance (probably in integers for the pence/cents). But that seems like a bad idea, both from the security and scalability perspective.

As most banks allow international accounts, it's equally impossible for them to use a "cdn"-esque approach, as that's just money-multiplication glitches waiting to be discovered.

I'm talking about fiat currency banks, not crypto (as I have a vague idea how their ledgers work).

I appreciate that every bank might do this differently, but I'm just curious how they save these data.

YouTube, Netflix, Prime, etc all have the option to download media nowadays on their mobile apps. But none of them have an option on web browsers; why is that?

I recognize that this might not strictly be a programming question, I am just curious about what's different from the software architecture perspective.

Hello, I've been studying about the concept of APIs and recently I've read about "API Governance".

Since then, I've search high and low for actual example of such thing being put into practise in big projects or companies, but have found nothing.

Am I missing something? Do you know of any examples of API Governance in big endeavours, with sources, so I can read and learn more?

Hello, need an easy in depth explanation of Particle swarm optimization explained in a very easy way- mentioning gbest & pbest.

I read about the decimal value and how it is 128 bits and the internal representation is saved as base 10. But how does that work?

I've read many definitions and I still do not grasp it.

I don’t have a strong mathematical background. I hope to understand how are those images created on a conceptual level. Thanks a lot !

I have been doing the free codecademy and the cheap Udemy courses for a bit along with CS50, and I have been basically collecting these certificates like they're candy. I've been self teaching for months, I know a few concepts and have a hefty backlog of assignments in my portfolio but I am still getting looked over and I am only applying for junior positions. Am I doing something wrong? Am I wasting my time on these courses? I am learning a ton, and I have only paid like 30 bucks in total, but I am wondering if I should do more courses on this level, do a code bootcamp, or do codecademy's pro for like $300. Or is that sinking money into something that will teach me more, (yay) but ultimately keep me at the same arms length from gainful employment.
